Mason Trails

Our survey results have shown that walking, running, and biking are primary physical activities of choice for many campus community members. There are 2 designated trails on campus:

  • Yellow Birch Trail – 1.6 mile walking/running trail on the sidewalks around Patriot Circle
  • Red Dogwood Trail – 1.3 mile multi-purpose trail along Campus Drive

Both trails are signed at major intersections. Please use caution at all times when crossing intersecting roadways while using the trails.

The City of Fairfax and Fairfax County also sign and maintain trails and bike lanes that integrate with the Mason Trails. Additional information on those trails can be found below on this page.
